#repost @v.hussenot Victor Hussenot (France, 1985-).   I am a fan of Hussenot’s work in the field of bande dessinée and illustration.  This scared pink cat with a preternaturally long tail is on a recent panel of character designs, and one can only hope that it will be the star in a new line of books.

Les Amoureux

Les Amoureux

Un garçon, une fille. Des pages, et le temps qui passe. Et deux crayons, pour déployer son imaginaire, s’affronter, se réconcilier et vivre de nombreuses aventures. 

Un très bel album muet, qui joue avec ses traits et ses vides pour nous raconter une histoire.

Le principe de narration est intéressant : deux couleurs, pour deux personnages, et deux crayons qui leur permet de déployer…

The Land of Lines

By Victor Hussenot

Published in America by Chronicle Books 2015

Categorized as a kids book, this is probably something that actually has a much wider appeal. Yes, the main characters are kids, yes, the story is not anything too difficult to comprehend, but the setting and the story is so artfully abstract, I don’t know how this wouldn’t attract the wider appeal of the alternative comics loving crowd?

Victor Hussenot’s is utilizing a simple improv line style for this book, but it’s so abstractly bizarre it’s quite a stunning piece of work! It takes a certain wonderful kind of imagination to come up with these kinds of pages! So while, technically this is a collection of simple line drawings, overall it’s a stunning achievement in the comic book medium! At least, I think so. The world of this book is a world of different colored lines and simple meanings, but that doesn’t mean it’s not simply fascinating!

Blue Boy and Red Girl are lost, each on their own section of the varied colored world. But when they meet by chance, together they decide to traverse this bizarre and colorful lined world back to their homes! Following the variety of red and blue paths leads the two youngsters on a bunch of short adventures. From adventuring through a large and sharp vine encrusted land to an area of great mountains, these two quickly find friendship and maybe more.

But when the liney paths they follow eventually lead home, Red Girl to Red world and Blue Boy to blue world, they find they will each miss their new found friend and the adventures they embarked upon. The moral here is obvious, but it’s a moral, constantly relevant. This part is probably the most kid important part, but the moral is still one we miss as adults too. Just look at the current political world of America or Britain.

As a story, this was nothing complicated at all, but the art is something wonderful and bizarre! Cartoony and abstract at the same time, Victor Hussenot treats us to a feast for the eyes! Just because the art was done with simple lines, doesn’t mean there wasn’t a great amount of detail. There’s a ton of stuff to absorb on each page, showing us, only a real artist who thought a lot about this approach, could make it work!

Get this book here!
